I think that we should be doing everything that we can in order to protect the officers who are on the streets, so certainly they should be given the option of using any equipment that they have been trained with. But it is the training that is the most important part of this, in my opinion...

It is like any other job that you might have - you have to realise that your job comes first, and you have to do your very best to try and put any differences that you might have to one side and forget about them. If this is not possible, then you have a few options, including switching duties...

I think that one of the main problems for people who are in the position of a doctor is the fact that it must be so, so easy for them to go forward and abuse their position. Because when people go to visit them, they are quite obviously at the most vulnerable that they are ever going to be. So...

I was once in a fight when somebody walked up to me in the centre of town for no reason at all and started hitting me. I never found out why they did it, and I was too shocked to hit back at first, but the end I had to do something because I don't think they would have stopped otherwise. So I...

I will never be able to understand just why people feel as though it is the right thing to do to threaten a police officer. They should know that if they were in any kind of danger, the police would do everything that they could in order to protect them, yet for some reason they feel it right to...

No, they won't make you tell them who you are unless you want to. They may ask for your name out of politeness, but you do not have to give this to them. However, they would be able to track the call, so if they wanted to, there would be a high chance that they could find out who it was who...

I think it would depend on the law that they were breaking. Firstly, if they were doing something that would hurt anybody, then I would have to put a stop to it, whether they were my loved one or not. If it was something like drugs, or shoplifting, then I would try to work out why they were...

I try not to break any laws, and the only one that I think I break is occasionally speeding. It is only ever when it is late at night and there is nobody else on the road, and even then I don't do it on purpose. It tends to happen because I'm not being slowed down by other traffic, so it is far...

You are allowed to defend yourself reasonably, to an appropriate extent that means that you will be safe. However the problem arises when you get people murdering others saying that it was self defence - when their lives were never actually in danger in the first place. So that can definitely be...

I would also like to thank everybody who managed to work thanksgiving this year, because it meant that a lot of people got the time to spend with their families. With regards to how shifts are allocated, from my experience people are given the chance to offer to work, but if nobody wants to do...

I do think that there are larger number of children who come from broken homes, because they have often not had a male figure in their lives, however I do think that credit needs to be given to the huge number of single parents who have managed to raise their children in such a way that they...

Unless it's actually dangerous to run outside due to ice, I would still run there. Because you soon warm up, and you can't tell it's cold anymore. If you're not able to do that then I would focus on bodyweight exercises that I can do from the comfort of my own home, and would maybe put some...

This is shocking. I expect the teenager in question didn't realise just how bad it was until it was too late and he had been caught. The problem is that many people feel that they're not hurting anybody by looking at photos, because you're not the one to physically cause the harm, but by looking...

Okay, this sounds like a pretty dumb thing to do. I don't agree with hiring anybody to kill another person at all, but at least if you're going to do it you should choose somebody who doesn't enforce the law! There should be incredibly harsh penalties for people like her that try to do such...

This seems to be a very strange story to me. I don't know why any couple would want to get the police involved with any kind of dispute that they're having, unless either one of them goes too far and causes physical harm to their partner without being provoked. I think she needs some help...

If somebody is being harassed, they do not have to put up with it. It is very important that they get help as soon as possible, and if people won't listen to them then they simply need to make sure that they shout even louder the next time they mention it. Everybody has the right to go about...

This is a terrible crime, and I hope very much that he has to pay for what he has done to this poor child. I also worry about the state of the world when people, particularly people this young, feel the need to do this to other human beings. A child has killed a child, and for some reason that...

It's like any job, it very much depends on how you manage your money while you're earning it. In my country, the police get a good pension, so they would be comfortable when they retire - but that doesn't necessarily equate to rich. Police officers need to remember that their career may be...

It depends on so many things. One of the main things is how long they're going to be at home for. If you have a younger child who has to let themselves in at the end of school and wait for half an hour then that isn't too bad, but I wouldn't expect them to be able to cook for themselves or...

I wouldn't say that there were all that many that were fought as far as going to court. The main reason for this is (a) people don't realise that they can actually do this and (b) they don't think that they can afford it. Most people, when given a ticket, would much rather simply pay it and get...
